What's this trip about?

    This unique Chile cycling vacation includes a region most bike tours miss—the coast! As you spin along sunny Chilean shores, you’ll discover a wealth of South American marine life during a boating excursion with a local fisherman. Your local VBT trip leaders will introduce you to the colorful coastal city of Valparaiso—with its brightly-painted buildings and vibrant street art. Turning inland, you’ll spin through the Valle de Casablanca, famous for its fine white wines, and enjoy a tasting at the innovative Kingston Family Winery. Cycle through the Valle dei Maipo—then receive a royal welcome from our friends at the sumptuous Santa Rita Vineyards. As you enjoy the amenities of this opulent estate, you’ll experience a unique wine-tasting workshop, in which an experienced Chilean sommelier helps you uncover the secrets of your own palate.
